Product Description
No.12 Zinc-Plated Steel Countersunk Pozi Woodscrews
These No.12 countersunk Pozi woodscrews are manufactured from hardened steel and finished with zinc plating. They provide a strong and practical fastening solution for general woodworking, joinery and timber-fixing applications.
The countersunk head is designed to finish flush with, or slightly below, the surface of the timber. The Pozi cross recess provides positive engagement with the correct screwdriver bit and helps transfer driving torque effectively.

Installation Guidance
- Use the correct-size Pozi driver bit to minimise damage to the recess.
- Drill a suitable pilot hole when working close to an edge or with dense hardwood.
- A separate countersink may be required when a completely flush finish is needed.
- Avoid excessive tightening, which may damage the timber or strip the recess.
- Confirm that the screw length will not penetrate cables, pipes or finished surfaces.
Important: Standard zinc plating provides limited corrosion resistance and should not automatically be treated as suitable for permanently exposed, marine or highly corrosive environments. For exposed outdoor timber, treated timber or applications requiring greater corrosion resistance, consider an appropriately rated stainless-steel or exterior-coated woodscrew.
These are general-purpose woodscrews and should not be described as structural fasteners unless supporting load-performance certification is available for the exact product.
